Neat headphones tip - HTC One X

Hi all,
I dunno if this has been posted somewhere before, if it has my apologies.
I've just found out that when I have my stock HTC headphones plugged in, the ones that came with my HOX, as we all know the single button on the headphones will pause/play music when in the music app and iirc can dial your most recent call?
However, I've just found out that If you hold the button down it'll launch Google Now
Sweet!

HD FM Radio - Headset Button Control

Does anyone have a solution as to how to change the FM radio Channel through the Headset Call button??......currently i can only do it on the HD unit itself.
Any solution or link would be nice.
Thanks

It would be great if someone could reply.
Even I am looking for a similar solution, but for music player.
Currently when i hit the button more then once, it starts calling the last person on my call history.

Thank You.
Finally got something resolved.
I really like the phone, but stupid things, either due to Microsoft or HTC really makes me wonder why cant they get it rite like apple.
I really miss the sensor on i-phone, but as its windows you always have work arounds.
I am using pocket shield. Its good, but still misses one good option.
When the headset is inserted, you cannot disable the answer hard key.
I am trying to check, if there might be any application that can help me with that.
Apart from that the battery life is a bit bad rite now.
I have disabled all the bells n whistles like bluetooth, wifi, active sync,push notifications. but still dont know, why it is still lacking.
One thing I havent tried, is the option to switch off the device,
But the problem is that you have to press the power button everytime to bring it back, then swipe to unlock.
Phew... I knw to many complaints..
But luckily, its a easter weekend, so can search the net to make my phone perfect... heheehheheheh........
Let me know if you find something which changes the FM Radio preset stations with the headset button.
sure. will post rite here.
Even though this is 2 years after the previous post, it may help to say I would also like to have 1 button control for the FM Radio in my Android - ver 3.3.3 Samsung Gio.
If you know if an app has been created in the past 2 years, please let me know.

They do work on the Vibrant. As will any of the four pin headphones for the iPhone.
Ya I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i and they do not work on the vibrant... Im pretty sure a software workaround can work... I wouldn't know how to do it though... Any chance someone can write up some quick code for this?

The G1 had the same problem when it came out. It turned out to be software related.
The Vibrant is designed to work with any four pin headset. Alternatively you can get an adapter from Samsung that goes from the four pin plug on the phone to an in-line volume control/microphone with a three pin port on it.http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EMC40AONMEBSTD
Is there a link available for this software fix?
The volume controls and the fast forward and rewind would only be able to work with a software workaround. As far as listening to music goes, it tuns out Samsung switched the ground and microphone pins AND the laft and right pins. And because of that I have to hold down the mic button to be able to listen to music and still it would be backwards. Im going to either make a 4pin female-4 pin male adaptor or open up the S4i remote (really easy) and switch them around in there.

The software fix is the android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It hasn't been released yet but should be available in the next couple weeks.
Zaggs Smartbuds, they work with mixzing and the new powerAmp.

Sorry if this is an old post, but I just wanted to know if the controls on the V moda Remix Remote really work with the vibrant or is it just one of the buttons for answering calls? I am planning on buying the headphones. I would also like to know if the mic is compatible as well. Thanks in advance

I'm also looking for a set of wired ear buds with an inline microphone. I'm running Macnut R12 and was at yodabashi camera this weekend, none of the iphone headphones with microphones would work (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). :-(
Meridian is the answer.
What I've found is that any headphones with an answer call button works but I prefer using Meridian with my earbuds because if you go into the options and select "use headset buttons" you can get play/pause, skip and previous functions all from that one button by quickly double pressing for skip, pressing once then waiting a second before pressing again for previous and one press for play/pause. Works flawlessly with me and you don't have to worry about getting headphones with all 3 buttons since 1 button gets the job done.
Hey do you know if there is a way of backing up a playlist and saving it on the SD card or computer? I hate going through and making a new playlist everytime I flash a new rom or something. Thanks man......and I use Meridian because of you. I ride a motorcycle everyday to work listening to music now. It's so easy to move between tracks with the Mic button. Thanks again.

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

Tips about earphones with inline remotes that say they are only for iPhone

using a headset to control music has been a huge thing for me and I've been doing a lot of research to figure out what
works.
Results are, and most iPhone headphones with remote and mic in line don't natively work but you can make them work with android.
In ther play store there's a few apps the ones I've tried are remote control for headphones (icon is a pair of white iPhone headphones) this basically allows you to map the button presses to skip to next track and previous etc
This app works perfectly with stock player. However I use power amp and that natively works with the earphones. I have just received my Sony earphones with iPhone remote and works perfectly.
For quick settings in notification I use toggle panel. Also widgetsoid is good
I posted this in the general forum but it was supposed to be here sorry

I wonder if this works with the iBeats earphones. I don't suppose you know?
As far as I know you will be able to control your music to move next song and previous and play, pause. But the volume will never work unless you map it with the app then it will and I can confirm that it works on my one x with my Sony iPhone headset
Hope I helped

I tried that but this phone and almost all newer phones use the same 3.5mm Jack but it has an extra black contact on it that tells the phone that it is a headset and not just a pair of headphones.
What I am going to do though is get a 3.5mm audio extension cable that had the 3black contacts (4 prong ) and connect my Nokia headset to see if I can get them to work too

does that mean that i need to do a TRRS replacement??
The advice given on the link is that all you have to do is swap the connections on rings 3 & 4, here is that advice elaborated a bit more by me.
What you have to do is goto an electronic components shop, buy a 4 pin 3.5mm plug, cut off the original plug and find out which wire goes to which ring, re connect the 2 wires closest to the tip the Same as original, for the other 2 rings swap the connections over. Ring 1 is the one on the tip.
I have not done this myself, but the bases behind it to me is logical, maybe if you want to do a Google search before cutting up a good headset to confirm this idea.

In my opinion that's just more hassle than its worth and I'm very good with soldering in fact I've repaired my old earphones 3 times replacing parts.
But for getting them to work here the app or power amp or winamp will do fine
In regards to the volume buttons they cant be mapped to work unless you do what's said in the link.
For me pressing the volume buttons on my HTC one can is no big deal as its usually in my jacket breast pocket so easy to press volume button.
You can set the volume to change with the button mapping app to notice that 4 button presses will go volume up and 5 will go down

[Q] Background audio louder than voice on Youtube with 3rd party earphones

Well, the title says everything. The sound on the phone is great for me, there's no issue playing Youtube videos inside the browser, music plays just fine, beats on/off doesn't make any difference and external speaker doesn't have this issue. There's no equalizer installed and I can't figure out what to do to get this annoyance fixed.
I'm using the latest stock 4.0.4 update and my One X is the international version. I'm still playing with the stock firmware to know better my phone. I did the same with my old SGS and that helped me to choose the best ROM later.
Thanks in advance.
I knew this could be a not answered question, because the lack of info and not enough testing. But that's OK, I kinda sorted it out.
I was testing my HOX with two earphones, one from Galaxy S, other from Xperia Mini. As they are in-ear, I never bothered to pull the HOX earphone from the plastic bag. So I finally did it and with those freaking lids in my ears, it works. Then I did noticed the different headphone icon on status bar, it has a button on it. The others are recognized without that. Quite promptly I inserted one of the old earphones and pressed the answering call button and guess what? With the button pressed, it works just fine.
My guess is that HOX is very restrictive with the earphone support. And now I change my question, is there any way to recognize those earphones properly or is it a hardware limitation from them?
Thanks again.
